Healthy vs. Unhealthy Relationships, and How to Know the Difference

Part I of a two-part series on healthy vs. unhealthy relationships.

In this presentation, Chris and Lisa of Been There Got Out will

• Briefly touch on Connecticut's recent Jennifers' Law and explain what coercive control means

• Discuss the various aspects of relationships which confuse healthy vs. unhealthy relationship characteristics, including myths and commonly held beliefs on what is acceptable behavior.

• Discuss how pop culture romanticizes many unhealthy relationship behavior, and contrast with what healthy love and friendship actually look like. 

• Provide a "trick" on how to tell from a first encounter whether someone might be toxic, as well as a link to their free “Toxic Relationship” quiz (taken by over 40,000 people worldwide already!) to those who want to dive deeper into how domestic abuse manifests itself. 

Workshop will be followed by a Q&A session.
